Serious question: what about the flames seasons makes you think they can have a legit chance of winning this year? The Athletic puts their odds at 1%.
The eye test gives me the same results

I don't see the Flames as serious contenders but it's not hard not to look at the Pacific division and see a bunch of meh, and realize the Flames have a realistic shot of being the team to come out of the Division. And with the franchise's history, that would be a hell of a result.
But I don't see them making it without both adding to and just changing the makeup of the team. And the deadline may be too late in the game to manage that kind of change.
So here we are.
